Chinese tomb guardian statues were used during the Han Dynasty (206 B.C.-220 A.D.) to protect the soul of the deceased and the objects included in one's burial from evil. With large and angry eyes wide open and a horn protruding between them, this powerful winged sculpture displays its fierce demeanor by means of its bared teeth and flared nostrils. Noblemen were believed to be able to ride the creature to heaven.
